<p>My Name is Tom. Me and my Dad bought a 63 acre woodland a few years back and we have recently had our woodland management plan approved by not only the FC but also Natural England due to it being a SSSI, this was some task as we produced it ourselves. We have basically been learning as we go along but with all the stress i can gladly say we are reaching our goal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Woodland itself is Semi-ancient natural woodland all consisting of broadleaved hardwood, which has not been worked since the second world war, so we have produced a plan for the next 20 years for cutting in the new rides and mainly the whole wood will be coppiced with standards.</p>
<p>Our initial plan was to use the extracted timber as biomass for a 100kw gasification system to put electric back into the grid but for us to raise more funds we will concentrate on the logging side for now. We are looking to extract around 800 to 1000 tonne per season, so our works cut out for us.</p>
